What are you giving up for Lent?

Soooooo Today is Ash Wednesday (or at least I started writing this on Ash Wednesday). Today was the commencement of Lent. Not sure what Lent is? Let me Google that for you! [http://tinyurl.com/chsztk] Informed? Let’s continue, shall we!

My Crazy arse decided to give up Television for Lent! Lawd Gad in heaven. Jesus, be a DVR!!! I don’t curse (often), and I can pretty much cut any other vice cold turkey, I have strong will. But TV?! I LOVE TV!!! I was once told that I was addicted to it. I wouldn’t go THAT far… I mean if I find something to occupy my time, I don’t need tv. The problem is, I’m not looking for anything to occupy my time, cuz I love TV! LOL So far I am doing pretty well. I have this blog (my new toy) to keep me busy. I expect to read more books, and enjoy more of the outdoors. I ain’t going hiking or nothing, but maybe longer strolls? Or bike rides? Hell I ain’t even got a bike… Well I can go buy one LOL Whatevs, all I know is that I won’t be glued to the couch like I usually am. This should prove to be an interesting, and rewarding experience!

I surely picked the perfect time to fast from TV! All my good shows are on, Project Runway, RHOOC, The Tudors, Big Love, and my newest favorite Glee is coming back. I also heard that 90210 and Melrose will be coming back. Ok, the more I list the shows the more I am beginning to regret doing this! **BBM crying face**

Some friends of mine are also partaking in the Daniel’s Fast… This is where you only consume one meal a day in the evening, and you cut out all meats, fish, eggs and butter. **random** While I’m on this subject, why isn’t fish considered a meat? Meat is considered the flesh of an animal… Last I checked, a fish is an animal isn’t it? Ok random over LOL Well as you all know I am a vegetarian so the Daniel’s Fast won’t be hard for me to do; it’s the waiting to eat til supper time I find difficult! I was praying to the Lord to be my sustenance today! Good night, I was STARVING! Funny thing is, I’ve gone without eating til supper time before, and I was fine. I think the thought of NOT being able to eat til dinner time was really the kicker.

For the next 5 weeks I’ll be chronicling my no tv fast, lets hope I make it! *fingers crossed*

Are any of you out there participating in Lent? What did you decide to give up? Is it truly a sacrifice? Is it realistic?

Got any suggestions on what I should do to occupy my couch potato time?

Introductions

Hello World! I finally gave in and decided to get a blog! I guess you want to know a little about me, eh? Well where do I start? I'm a Capricorn; I like long walks on the beach... Hehe! If you continue reading this blog you'll MORE than get to know me. I'm not one to hold my tongue, I will be saying what I feel, when I feel like it. If you don’t like what you’re reading, there is this nifty button at the top right corner of your screen, it has an "x" on it, click it and voila, I’m gone!

This blog will be written in my voice. I want the people reading it, to feel like they are actually getting to know me, and not that they are reading some article... This is not ENC1102, nor is it the Florida Writes; in other words, I will not be writing in "term paper" format. For the most part I am usually grammatically correct but, I may throw in a few colloquialisms here and there... So, don’t be coming here thinking you gon’ be reading Ayn Rand! Basically, this blog will be used as an outlet for issues I want to talk about, such as things going on in my life, current events, sex topics, weight and fitness, beauty topics, finances, education, politics, religion, and other random ish that comes to my mind that I want ramble about.

**Warning** I am uber random and sometimes my thoughts may not seem to flow, but in my head it totally makes sense. Sorry that you’re not in my brain, it truly is a fun place!

If you feel coming to read my blog just isn’t enough, you can follow me on twitter! www.twitter.com/LuckieStarZ
